Dear Evan Hansen Tony Performance

They should definitely do 'You Will Be Found', I think. They've performed it as a cast on TV before, so I don't see why a slightly edited version shouldn't be performed at the Tonys. When are these decisions actually made by producers?

I'd be very happy with "You Will Be Found". Honestly, I wish they would release the edited down version like they sang on the Today show, without the dialogue, because it's beautiful as a stand alone song.

I also love "Sincerely Me" because it's upbeat and funny and an infectious tune but it would never fly on network tv and outside the context of the show wouldn't make sense to new viewers, unfortunately.

I'd suspect they would want to feature their nominated actors as much as they could. So maybe Sincerely Me Reprise and Good For You. At the same time I'm holding out for a Words Fail performance.

I would love for it to be Sincerely Me tho.

Holy crap! Really?!

Anyways, You Will be Found is a perfect choice. But, my guilty pleasure would be Sincerely Me and Sincerely Me (Reprise). Those two songs are so cheerful and funny, although it would probably be a spoiler. It would also give Will Roland a chance to shine.

Well, obviously the person that suggested it would reach everyone wasn't aware of that.

Glad someone posted as I've been wondering this very thing.

Waving Through a Window and You Will Be Found are the two most beautiful (and catchy/known) songs of the show. If I'm remembering correctly from the show, isn't You Will Be Found more of an ensemble number? Either way, can't wait for Tony night.

I can see them perhaps doing "Anybody Have a Map" to showcase Rachel and Mike, into Waving to showcase Ben, and then MAYBE into "You Will Be Found" taking the 7 min time slot like Hamilton....who knows

The Hansen hatred on these message boards. You Will Be Found will be misleading? I can't even. I can't wait for DEH to win the top awards!

I also think You Will Be Found is misleading when taken out of the context of the show (hasn't stopped the marketing team though). If the audience doesn't know that his speech is a giant lie, it comes across as a simple, uplifting, "it gets better" message. Granted, that would probably sell tickets, but IMO the song is far more powerful when preceded by the tie and speech scenes. Otherwise it's almost cloying.

Count me in as another one hoping for Sincerely Me (even though I'd bet money they end up doing Waving).

Sincerely Me would make literally zero sense to perform. You Will Be Found would be ideal.

Hansen lover here, but I'm having trouble figuring out how they would manage to adapt "Found" for the show without diluting its impact, whereas "Waiving" seems to work without modification. I also think we aficionados have seen "Waiving" a lot and have forgotten the impact it could have on a tv audience with no exposure. After all, it's basically about selling more tickets.

Or they could do the Glove song. Come to think of it, they should do the Glove song lol. #TeamPark

This whole idea of Evan Hansen as sociopath/psychopath is ridiculous. Oh they can't do You Will Be Found because it's misleading because Evan is lying. Evan is a lost and anxious teenager who is deeply insecure. He was abandoned by his father when he was young and his mother his hustling nonstop to provide for her son. Teenagers are still not yet old enough to understand the full ramifications of their actions. Jared aids and abets Evan in his deception. Evan is not acting from a place of malice nor is he cut off emotionally from his actions. He's nothing but emotions. He sees how his stories are providing comfort to a grieving a family. When the Murphy's are being attacked, they don't turn against Evan. Instead they get into a big argument about why they couldn't have managed to stop the death of their son. At the end of the day, Evan has nothing to do with the death of Connor, the Murphy's anguish is why they couldn't manage to get Connor the help that he needed.

In Curious Incident of the Dog, Christopher's father lies to his son claiming that his mother died, when she was actually alive. He intercepted the letters that his mother sent to him. Well obviously Christopher figures it out. I didn't see Message boards devoted to his father was a psychopath.

It drives me crazy.
